In Thailand, people eat with spoons and use their forks to help cut and load the spoon, no knives.
Everything is crowded, the busses, ferries, trains, malls and most of all the streets.
The malls are amazing, Nordstrom/Bloomingdale quality with amazing food courts that serve every kind of food imaginable. There are also great supermarkets in the malls, one place has a giant coffe roasting machine so you pick your beans and they roast it for you on the spot right in front of your eyes.
They also have movie theaters but show very mediocre stuff like 'Snakes on a Plane".
There are food vendors everywhere, selling stuff dirt cheap. Half a delicious pineapple is 25 cents, a plate full of food like you get in a Thai or Chinese restauarnt with rice is about a buck.
Thai people are really nice and helpful and patient.
Thailand is about 95 % Buddhist and most of the temples are gorgeous and they are all over the place.
Bangkok is a huge sprawling city and it takes almost an hour to get anywhere downtown where all the hotels and malls are.

do they ever use chopsticks? come to think of it, i hardly use a knife while eating too; i just cut with a fork.
snakes on a plane was actually good. i was skeptical.. i thought it would be horrible, but mike dragged me to it with free tickets and it was actually a lot of fun and surprisingly good.
i like the idea of a blog very much..
